Edgefield Police
are
investigating
the alleged rape
of an Edgefield
girl at an
apartment where
underage
drinking was
taking place
sometime in
March. The girl,
whose age will
only be stated
at under 15 to
protect her
identity,
reported being
at the apartment
with others and
they were
drinking vodka.
At one point the
girl was
approached in
the hallway by
two males and
taken into a
bedroom where
the attacks are
said to have
taken place.

The girl was
able to provide
a nickname of
one of the
subjects, the
other was only
described as an
unknown black
male. According
to the
information
obtained, the
black male was
the first to
force the girl
to have sex and
then left the
room and the
white male
entered and also
is said to have
raped the girl.

The white male,
who she knew
only by a
nickname,
rejected her
asking if she
could leave or
if she, "had to
do this", by
saying, "No, but
I want you to".
She reported
that she would
tell the man no
several times
and asking him
to stop only to
be told to "be
quiet".

The report never
provided a
description of
either of the
two men.

The girl's
sister was also
said to be at
the apartment
and was taken
into a bathroom
during the time
the girl was
being attacked.
There was no
further
information on
the sister or
her age.

The report,
which was filed
in mid July, has
been withheld
from publication
until it was
cleared by the
Edgefield
Police
Department so
not to impede
their
investigation.
Edgefield Police
Chief Ronnie
Carter said the
case is still
under active
investigation
but there have
been no arrests
at this time. He
would not say if
they had
identified the
two suspects.

According to the
July 18 report,
the girl told
the officer that
she informed her
mother about the
attacks at least
a month before
telling her
story to police,
but asked her
mother not to
say anything.
Police had no
information
about the crime
until the girl
broke her
silence and told
a medical
provider who
contacted
Edgefield
police.

Edgefield Daily
will continue to
follow this case
and release more
information as
the
investigation
progresses.
Additional
information
previously
released in the
case is still
being withheld
from publication
to protect the
victim and the
investigation.
